There is no clear-cut upgrade procedure, but it's doable, I think, but on
the same machine, you really have to schedule a downtime and let your
users know that you will be upgrading and the downtime will be about
NN minutes long.

You'll really need to deinstall apache13, then install apache22 and
reinstall mod_php5. This is where the downtime comes in.

apachectl stop
cd /usr/ports/www/apache13
make deinstall
cd /usr/ports/www/apache22 && make install
cd /usr/ports/www/mod_php5
make -DWITH_APACHE2 -DFORCE_PKG_REGISTER reinstall

PS: Please make sure you have simulated the whole procedure elsewhere.
Sometimes, things do happen which might make you go crazy! Suppose
something fails to compile, or even to start within the planned down
time.....

BTW, I did not ask what motivation you have to upgrade to apache22 ;)
